Stitches!

Her stitches, which were numbered around 85, are starting to come out now! Especially on the sides since that's where she turns her head and rubs it on things. I also included a picture of the side shot of her head shape. It's looking so good! She's doing great :).

I wish I could hug each and every one of you who have been praying for us all. You will never know how much peace that has brought to our lives. It has been amazing.

Bone sticking out

We did wonder, after the swelling had gone down, what the heck this bone was doing jutting out of her head. We went for an appointment today and they told us to give it at least 6 months. Even just a few days after these pictures were taken, the bone started to smooth down a bit, or whatever it did, it doesn't stick out so far. He said it was one of the corners of the bone where the finger-like cut was. I'm so glad it's nothing serious. He said if it bothered her when she's older, like 1 1/2, they could really fix it easily. I'm sure she won't mind, as it's not bad now at all, just a little bump. It was sharp originally though. I just didn't want it to break the skin! I didn't mind how it looked!
**Update--just a couple weeks after this post, the bone had flattened out quite nicely. I don't even know where the spot was anymore by feeling. It totally resolved itself:). Yea!

I just love my kids to death. I got all teary-eyed the other night thinking how lucky we are to have them! DSCF2128

Bean actually smiled and stayed in her carseat for an entire shopping trip! Of course, I was only in there with just her for 20 minutes, so that probably helps! I even had my camera with me! You can see the dip from the bone they took out on top of her head in this picture. DSCF2199
